Don't see the big deal really. Not a sports fan to begin with tbh
Thing that always bothered me about american sports was the baseball event, the "World Series". Being america is the only participating country, yet not the only one that play it professionally, the title "World" confuses me.

Yep, always try to watch it, although I'm likely to fall asleep. Despite it being an American sport, I prefer it so much over rugby, although I'd rather watch football, F1, or boxing
I don't really care...but GO PACK GO!
...My favourite youtube commentator is a Packers fan, so meh, I'll back them. Know jack all about the sport though; only that you hardly use your feet;D

I regard Superbowl as what it truly is: It's not about football as much as it is about basically Christmas for the Marketing Department.
Companies pay out the nose to get commercial space there because the viewership is so high, which results in lower cost spent per view.
Did you know it can cost as much as $3200 per frame for a commercial in those timespaces?

No I won't be. I don't really care for it. The only sport I really watch is football/soccer. Anyone who says that (football/soccer) is boring should watch the Arsenal vs Newcastle game that was played on Saturday. Unbelievable game!
I don't believe I'd be interested in it all that long to be honest. It took me 3 re-watches of that video to figure out why those spectators were cheering - it was a pretty good feint.Endocrom said:
Britisher here, watching the Super Bowl coverage as I type. Watched it last year too, along with a bunch of random games from this season.
I can't claim to be an expert but I understand enough of the sport to be able to follow what's going on. Aside from the sporting side of it, I like the theatrical aspect too. I'd love to get into it more but all we get on mainstream TV here is Sunday Night Football syndicated from NBC and it's hard to conveniently watch when the time difference means it runs to 4:30am.

Heh I've never seen the super bowl, or an american football game in my life. canadian by the way.
Super wha?
Seriously tho, I've never met anyone in my country who is interested or cares about the Super Bowl.

I tried to watch it last year cause my girlfriend was all hyped about it so I tried for her... but well it fell flat on it's face. I was bored. They play, they stop playing, they play again.
Perhaps it's my fault? I went in watching it with the notion I'd be seeing some brutality. All I saw was two opposing teams in what appeared to be a stop and go animation shoot.
No I shall not be watching it. Probably never will, unless coerced into it by my girlfriend in the future. However due to having a metaphorical gun to my head, I must end this post with:
"Go Steelers!"
